Unfortunately this school is extremely overrated for what one is paying. At this point just read the textbook yourself and with some self-discipline you never need the teachers.

Holy Names is a great college prep school. It is all women's and really shows women how to thrive and be successful in all areas: leadership, sports, service, academics, arts & more.

HNA has both been an extremely useful experience for college and also very stressful. The academics here are very difficult, but the teachers are here to help you and there's a lot of good teachers who clearly care about their students. The music department needs work (and more money) but I'm in a lot of different music organizations at HNA and really enjoy it.

Also when students were being recognized for their college choices, walking across the stage in from of the whole school she was...

Traumatic. Bullying was predominant, teachers and students alike were possessed and puppetted by resentful, life-destructive ideologies and philosophies. Such experiences have contributed to physical illness. Do not - I repeat - DO NOT send your daughter to Holy Names if you are looking for well-rou...
